  The latest requirements for the Next Generation Light Source (NGLS) beam spreader call for a kicker to deflect a 2.4 GeV electron beam by an angle of 3 mrad over a length of 2 meters. The rise and fall time requirements for the integrated B field are <50 ns, the pulse frequency is up to 100 kHz, and both the inter-pulse and pulse to pulse ripple requirements are <0.01% of full scale. These requirements, along with the basic design of the beam spreader are still evolving, and several magnet types and modulator topologies have been considered. This paper will discuss this evolution as it pertains to the kickers, what the current status is of the R&D effort, and the plan to build a full power prototype system.
